Context Description:
|
Room 5 was earth-floored. Below it was found larnax grave LG/39. The walls were very much of a patchwork; the NW wall was in two sections, the other three seem to have been of one date but show various modifications, the SE wall being in two parts of which one had six and the other ten courses of burnt brick, but the mud brickwork above them was bonded over the join. The door in the NE wall had had its threshold raised by four courses of burnt brick; in the SW wall there were two doors, one very narrow, the other, which had no brick threshold corresponding to the main floor of the house had had a threshold added later, which was 0.90 m. above the threshold of the narrow door. In the SE wall was a door affording access to the next house (No. 10) of which the threshold had been raised by two courses; the floor of the room had twice been raised, first by 0.20 m., then by another 0.70 m.2
